—Adolker, Acting Chairman, Federal Communications Commissions? —— "~~~ ~

Tt is ay view shot the Bureau's practice of passing along
to the various Government departments and agencies information
which comes to lts attention in connection with the conduct of
investigations normally and regularly within the Bureau's juris-
diction is entirely sporopriate and correct. Indeei, i+ would
appear that the Bureau would be remiss in its duty if it falled
to pess along information coming to it which might prove to be
in the interest of the general welfare, It is not the Bureau's
resvonsibility to determine whether the information is or is not
of importance to the particular agency in the carrying out of its
current activities and responsidilitiss and whether or not any
action is taken by the department or agency is not, of course, a
principal concern of the Bureau. *
7 I believe, therefore, that the Bureau should continue its
practice of passing along information which it is believed. might
be of interest to the various departments and agencies, At the
game time I believe that it would be annropriate either (a) to

prepare a circulcr to the various departments and agencies explain~

ing the Bureau's purnos in furnishin ne information from time to

time, or (>) to meke a varticular ef ffort for a tine when trans 7

Mr, Paul A. Walker oo .. ; “ Pk .
ti Agting Chadian ce Met Be en
Federal Commmicetions Commission , :
Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Walker;

Under date of November 18, 1947,-there appeared in the column of ,
Mr, Marquis Childs in the Washington Post the following statement attributed
to Mr. Clifford J. Durr of the Federal Communications Commission: "Already
the FBI is furnishing to the commission unsolicited rerorts on individuals
connected with- radio, and I can assure you that if you should be told the
kind of things contained in many of these reports you would dismiss the infor-
mation as baseless gossip."

“ The Federal Bureau of Investigation has referred to the Federal
Communications Commission from time to time information which it has received
in the course of its regular investigations which appeared pertinent or material *
to matters within the jurisdiction of the Commission. It is the policy and
practice of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to avoid any attempts to eval-
vate the simmificance of information relating ic matters without its juris-
“diction or the effect of such information upon the contemporary policies and
programs of other agencies. As a result, the Bureau furnishes tothe various
Government departments such information as it receives which appears pertinent
to’the operations of those Government departments, In so far as is practicable,
the Bureau attempts to evaluate the reliability of the source of this infor-

* mation. without’ attempting to maké ‘any suggestions as to the use: vhieh should -
“or should not be made of the information itself.

Mr. Childs, in his colwm quoting Mr. Durr's statement, adds the
following observation upon Mc. Durr's statement: "Note the word 'unsolicited',
| It indicates that the FBI initiated investigations and sought to influence “
FCC decisions by sending reports on certain individuals to the commission.
If this is hapvening, it is souething Congress should mow about,"

I desire to advise you that this Bureau has not at any time attempted

in any manner or degree to influence FCC decisions. The material which has
wah "been. transmitted to the. ;Commission | Was. sent, -20.Le ly fox the purpose of Jaffording..
‘the Uchmission information #hich canie to the’ Buitedu’ Prom various sources; which
information, it was ’ bedi :
of: "the, Coriniesion

In the light of the statements made by Mr. Durr.and since these
statements have not been repudiated by any other members of the Federal
Communications Conmsssion, I must assume that the material which the Bureau
has been fwnishing to the Commission is not desired by jthe Commission. I

- am consequensly discontinuing the transmittal of such data to the Commission
upon the assumption that the material is of no interest jto the Commission.

Very truly yours, , +

Regarding what agenctes will have investigative resnonsibilizi-
abroad uncer é¢his Orders, as mentioned in my vrevtous memoranday tou
may wish to give consideration to, tf possible, continuing tre arrange~
ments which have been perfected under Executive Crder 9835.

' Hy memorandum of April 6s 1953, commented regarding paraarash.
8 (b) (4) ef the draft received Avril 2, 1953, +44 was stated thas it
was felt tnvestinations regarding tndtuiauals who miakt be subjected ta
coercton, influence or pressure because of the presence of @ clese
relative in a.nmation-whose interests may be tnimtcal ta the interests
of the Untved Statea which develop @ suaversive ascect should be done
by this Rureau rather than the Civtl Service Commission or the eavloy~
ing agency. I¢ is observed that Sectien 8 (d) of the draft received
April 132; 1953; recuires this Bureau to conduct all investteations
which develon ,infornatton indicating that an incdtvicual may have been
subjected to coercion; influences or pressure to cct contrary te the
interests of the nattonal security, it t8 Suggested you miché desire
to clarify this orovisaion further to anecificaily orovide thet
investigations under this category utit be concucted by this tureau
only where there is information indicating a question cf loyaity or

William P, “Rogers,
Deputy Attorney General”

+ JBxecutivés ‘Order 49450! ‘
Security Requirements for Government: ‘Employment

¥ -rhis is with reference to your memoranda of May i dnjd
May 14, 1953, relating to the administration of Executive Order }j_
10450. .

1, Your opinion that there should be no abuse of the
privilege granted by section 3(b) of the order in filling sensitive
positions in emergency cases prior to the completion : of fu eit: ‘field
pre-appointment investigations is well taken, So, also, is¢your

| suggestion that the Civil Service Commission, in resgect to sec-
tion 3(a), should utilizé extreme care in permitting less than
the minimum investigation with respect to per diem, intermittent, -
temporary, or seasonable employees and aliens employed outside
the United States.

So

2. Lagree with your assumption that the coverage of «
‘the order is limited to the Executive Branch of the Government.
However, ido not believe it will be necessary to make snecific
provision in the regulations to that effect. Inasmuch as they

, {are to be issued separately by and in the name of each executive
oes ‘\branch*departinént or agency, it will be’ made clear that they relate
-}only to the administration of the particular department or agency
concerned,

wes Sou Ase: ‘eae: i okeretse to "the #2083 inst. “Geaevain of ihe, :
~ 7", honvexecutive branch agencies, such ° ag the Géneral- Accounting’ Ckfice .
‘.°." and the Goternment-Printing Office, participated in the: procedures *
prescriv ed by Executive Order 9833. I wnderviand this resulted,

: - not because that order was necessarily aprlicaple to those agencies,
but because they voluntarily adopted srocedures similar to those

; prescribed by the order. Executive Crder 10450 does not prevent
them from adocting a-similar policy in relation to it. The main

‘question is whether the appropriations of thé FEI are sufficient

2489 pay-for the investigations.required by, such agencies...

; other, interested. Agencies with: Fespect.. to. Executive Order, 1N450y,

. -. "3. In réferénce “to the ‘problem ‘of the’ ¥eSponsibility’ ‘of
conducting investigations abroad, the Departments of State.and Army
“Lavere requested’ by. Letter. dated June 3319537, to continue thevsame “ .”
‘““dbrangement “undér ‘Executive Order No? 10450 for investigations’ o
‘abroad as existed under Executive Crder No. 9835. The letter stated
‘that in the absence of any indication of disagreement with this plan,

it would be assumed that the existing arrangement would remain in
effect. To date no expressions of disagreement have come from
either Department.

4. In respect to the re-adjudication question arising
under section 4, lagree that the Bureau should conduct additional
investigations only when their purpose is to develop information
of the type described in section 8{d). However, I believe the
Civil Service Commission, rather than this Department, should
issue direct instructions to all departments and agencies as to proper
.| procedures in connection with requests for investigation. I would
v ‘| accordingly recommend that you work out a plan with the Civil Service
( Cornmission to so advise the interested departments and agencies.

$
5. As you point out, the last sentence of section 9(k)
of the sample security regulations is subject to sossible interpre-
tation requiring the em sloyee to be given a copy of the investigative
. reports in connection with his case. In order to sreclude this
>, possibility, an appropriate amendment has been transmitted to
,jall departments, and agencies... Many.of them have:also’been .--+ |
"informally ‘advised of the matter. In addition, since they are
supposed to submit their regulations to this Department before
issuance, proper precautions will be jasen at that time. .

7. You note that the sample security regulations do not
state whether the hearings are to be open or closed and that under
Executive Order 9835 the Loyalty Review Board issued a directive to
all departments and agencies requiring hearings under that order to
be private. In accordance with your suggestion, an amendment to Co,

Agents to testify at the hearings only "where they are in a position ,
to furnish competent evidence, " to be sound and suggest that you
undertake through the Civil Service Commission to advise the agencies

- concerned that this policy will be continued,

~t

10. Serious consideration has been given to your suggestion
that dismissals without prejudice to applicants in cases before the
Regional Loyalty Boards may effect the Civil Service Commission's
register of eligibles. The Commission has already advised that it
believes that, under the basic Civil Service Act, it can establish
criteria with respect to the register of eligibles similar to those
set out in the order. The Department has advised the Commission

- that the order does not preclude it from so acting under the authority
jor the Civil Service Act if it is satsified as to the existence of
such authority.

12. With relation tc section 5 of the order you state that
the Bureau, on receipt of information of a nature necessitating
investigation by it, intends to foliow the colicy of immediately
initiating the investigation rather than awaiting a request from
the department or agency concerned, but notifying the head of the
department or agency that information of a nature requiring investi-
gation by the Bureau has been received and an investigation is being
conducted... You also, mention that, upon. request, the. inter ested, agency...

Executive Order 10450 . .

This is in response to your memoranda, entitled as above,
dated May 8, 1974 and August 19, 1974, directed to the Deputy
Attorney General, Criminal Division, and referring to pro-
blems which have arisen as-a result of the promulgation of
Executive Order 11785 which amends Executive Order 10450. In
view of the involvement of my staff in these matters, I will
undertake to answer your questions with the concurrence of the
Criminal Division.

As you know this matter has been under continuing’review
both in the Task Force, chaired by a representative of this
office, of working level representatives of various agencies
in the security field and is now under study to a lesser degree
in Project #10 of the “Domestic Council on Privacy",

You ask that the Department; (a) provide specific instruc~
. tions to the Bureau to: conduct intelligence-type. investi gations,
to identity ‘and detérmine ‘the’ dotivities of “organizations now'~
described in the amended Section 8(a)(5) of Executive Order
10450; (b) furnish guidelines to be used by the Bureau in ini-
tiating investigations of individuals under the captioned matter
pursuant to Executive Order 10450 and specifically, criteria to
be utilized in determining whether available infor xmation is a
sufficient basis for investigation,

ere Actin ste Sit vere atten recat sate be

. . .

Under the amendment to Section 8(a)(5) of Executive Order
10450, we now have only two types of organizations; (1) those

_ of. force | or violence. to prevent | others from exercising their

any State, (2) ox which seek to overthrow the dovernnent of F

the United States, or any y State or subdivision thereof, by '
unlawful means. (Emphasis added). _ Le i

Of course, the key words which are underlined indicate
that the investigation should be initially based on a possible
violation of a federal (such as the Smith Act) or state statute
prohibiting unlawful advocacy or the commission of any unlawful
act of force.or violence. However, in order for the Bureau ‘co
detect organizations with a potential’ of. the above-nature, it
is important that the investigation proceed on the basis of in-
formation indicating that the organization may be of the nature
mentioned. It is not necessary that a crime occur before the
investigation is initiated, but only that a reasonable evaluation
of the available information suggests that the activities of the
organization may fall within the proscription of the Order. The
most recent example of the type of organization, that you have
advised is becoming more prevalent, is the small but dedicated
to violence, Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). Organizations of
this nature would clearly fall within the Order and should be
investigated as soon as information is available indicating their
potentiality for violence and of course, if possible, prior to
the fulfillment of their purposes.

. It is true that Executive Order 11785 eliminated the prior
communist, totalitarian, fascist, and subversive characterizgations
and definitions, but there was no intention of restricting the
investigations of such organizations if their programs call for
acts of force or violence or the unlawful advocacy of the com~

‘mission of acts of force or violence in furtherance of these

' programs. .

It is not possible to set definite parameters covering the

‘initiation of investigations of potential organizations falling
within the Order but once the investigation reaches a stage that
offers a basis for determining that the activities are legal in
nature, then the investigation should cease, but if the investi-~
gation suggests a determination that the organization is engaged
in illegal activities or potentially illegal activities it should

’ eontinue.

It follows in answer to your sécond question that individ-

Assistant Attorney General

. Your memorandum of Kovember 1, 1574, in part,
responded to this Burcau'’s memorandum ef August 19, 1974,
which anked for guidelines to be used by the FRI in
initiating investiscations of applicants and éemnleyecs in
the Exccutive Branch of the Governucnt pursuant to Ecction
8{d) of £O 16450, This Section specifically instructs
other agencies to prometly refer to the $22 for investi~
gation those cases which develon information indicating
that an individual may have been subjected to coercion,
influence or prossure to act contrary to the interests of
| the national sceurity, or information relating to any of
the other matters deseribed therein.

; Since the guidelines furnished by you are

concerned prinarily with possible violation of inv, a
| decision to be mde by the Department, it will be
| . »~ appreciated if you will furnish additional suldelines
ot to cover’ ‘symoathetice association” and other standards
‘wentioned in Section S{a} (2) through (8) when the
investigation concerns an applicant or employee in the
Executive Branch of the Government. :

In considering the forsgoing, it should be noted

the FRI has another rosponsibility under “0 10450 whick is
_ set forth in Section 5. Yhis Section provides that
| . Whenever there is develoned or received by any department
| ’ or Agency information indicating that the retanticn in
employment of any officer or employee of the Government
may not be clearly consistent with the iIntorests of the
national security, such information shall be forwarded to
the head of the employing department or agency or his
representative. :

Le ; Your attention is also invited to Chapter 736. of
_ the Federal Personnel Hanuali, which instructs agencies to
promptly refer to the FRI gor investigation cases “which
develop information indicating that a person may have been
shoject to coercion, influence or pressure to act contrary

to the interests of the national security, or infornaticn on

. possible disloyalty to the United States."

Assistant Attorney General
for Adwinistration

ny

hanter 732 of the Federnl Personnel Manual
instructs that before an azercy issues a letter e2 charges
under £0 15450, the Department of Justice shall be
consulted to assure that the rishts of the employees are ‘
fully considered. Eection 15 of NO 10456 reqnesta the
Attorney General ta render to the heads of departments and
agencies such advice as may be reanisite to enable then to
establish and maintain an appropriate employee security
progran, .

Aveilnble information indicates that difficnities
of proof imposed by the courts in loyalty and security casos
have proved alwost insurmountable and as a resuit no renovals
or oiher adverse actions have been taken on these grounds zor
several years and the adjudicative basis has apparently
ehifted from loyalty and security to suitability.

én early response in this matter will be
appreciated.

. NOTE: . , . :

' We have corresvonded with the Department concerning

‘ amendments to EO 10450 by EO 11785 and requested guidelines

L as to our investigations of subversive matters defined in

. EO 10450 as amended by EO 11785 as none have been previously
furnished by the Department. This is necessary because the
Federal Employee Security Program depends on subversive
information originating with our subversive investigations.
The foregoing requests clarification in conflicting language .
in the Repartment's response as to subversive investigations

‘ and response to questions concerning the FEI’s investigative
role in the above Program. .

Although our original inquiry was directed to
Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, the Department
memorandum notes Assistant Attorney General, Administrative
Division, answered with concurrence of the Criminal Division.
We are, therefore, directing our reguest for clarification to
Assistant Attorney General for Administration. ~

'as well as in evaluating requests for investigations of
individuals received from other agencies and departments
pursuant to Section §(d) of EO 10450. “Guidelines were
requested for the use of the FBI in initiating investigations
of individuals pursuant to EO 10450 and specifically criteria
to be utilized in determining whether available infermation
is sufficient basis for investigation under BO 10450.

A response to these inquiries was made by the
Assiatant Attorney General for Administration on Nevember 1,
1974, (enclosed), advising that the FBI should continue to
| conduct investigations to identify organizations coming
within the purview ef Section 8(a) (5) of EO 10450, l.e.,
organizations which: (l)unlawfully advocate or practice
the commission of acts of force or violence to prevent
others from exercising their rights under the Ccnstitution
or laws of the United States or any State; or (2}which seek
to overthrew the Government of the United States or any
State or subdivision thereof by unlawful means. The Repart~-
ment advised that if the investigation of an organization
“suggests a determination that the organization is engaged -

a iitegal activities or potentiaily illegal activities, it~
‘Bho continue. : —

Regarding the investigation of individuals, the
Department advised that members or affiliates of organizations |
described above should be investigated and the same yardstick
ghowld be utilized as was indicated for organizations in
detexmining whether the investigation should continue. The

. Department added, however, that “when a determination can

reasonably be made that the individual's activities, either
within the organization or as an nasvidier do not appear to
be n violation-of any law, then the investigation should cease.”
In a memorandum dated December 11, 1974, (enclosed),
_ to the Assistant Attorney General for Administration, clarifi-
cation was requested of the guidelines for investigations by _
the PBI of applicants and employees in the Executive Branch
under ©O 10450 since the Department's statement that the same
yardstick shovld be utilized in the case of organizations and
individuals appears to be at variance with that used concerning
organizations. °

Although the scope of a national agency check is
not defined in EO 10450, ‘Chapter 736 of the Faderal. Personnel
Manual defines a national agency check as including a check
of the fingerprint files, Identification Division, FBI, and of
the investigative filea of the FEI. uo

1953, provides that all files, documents, records and reports
in the Pepartment of Justice shall be regarded as of a.

. fhe Attorney General by memorandum dated December 5,
1947, advised the Bureau that the practice in passing along
- $9 the various government departments and agencies information
which comes te its attention in connection with. the conducting
of investigations, normally and regularly within the Bureau! 8
jurisdiction, is entirely appropriate and correct. The Attorney
General added that it would appear that the Bureau would be
remiss in its duty if it failed to pass along information
coming to it which might prove in the interest of the general
welfare, He added that it is not the Bureau's responsibility
to determine whether the information is or is not of importance
to the partiowlar agency in the carrying out of its current
activities and reaponsibility, and whether or not any action
is taken by the department or agency is not, Of course, &
principal concern of the Bureau. The Attorney General advised,
therefore, that in hie opinion the Bureay should continue to |
pass along information, which it is believed might be of ©
‘interest to the varieus departments and agencies.

Deputy Attorney General pointing out that the FEI contemplated
following the policy in existence under EO 9835 (Federal
Employee Loyalty Pregram) of initiating an investigation based
on available information rather than awaiting a request for
such an investigation under EO 10450 from the interested

department or agency. It was stated that if this practice

was in conflict with the provisions of EO 10450, consideration

_ gould be given to clarification. in subsequent regulations.

outiined in the memorandum dated May 1, 1953, to be in
conflict with any provision of EO 10450 and saw no reason
why the FBI ghould not continue this policy.

ghe FBI has continued the practice approved in
the Department's memorandum of June 25, 1953, and by memorandum

preparation of in-depth position papers for an Executive Con-
ference which led to the above-mentioned paper by Thomas 7. Smith.
Thereafter Section 87 was revamped and security investigations
were to be based on Federal statutes.

As indicated above, extensive file reviews were con-
ducted to locate various communications referred to in documents
being provided SSC and these efforts were negative. Additionally,
some documents being provided SSC contain information of interest
regarding the manual change; however, enclosures and attached
letters with these documents did not pertain to the manual change
and therefore these items were not furnished SSC.

revised the draft to meet all security problems which were

raised and discussed the revisions with Mr. Cregar to make

certain that their concerns were met.

This letter is intended to confirm the fact that, un-
less I receive word to the contrary from you, the Department

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me regardin: 3% the work of the
Select Conmittee on Intelligence Activities. I am sorzy to learn thy
you are‘unable to endorse the Conmictee's investigation aad the effets
which have been undertaken to strengthen the Nation's intelligence agen-

cies through closer definitions of their legal authority ad areas of -

legitimate operation.

One of the possible abuses ander investigation is the violation of the
First and Fourth Amendment riehts of Americans under the Constiturion

and Bill of Rights . The Arerican system of goverment is unique in that
it not only pexmits, but encourages, its citizens to voice their views

oa importemt isSues. One of the rights we are, trying to protect is vour
right to express your thoughts to me, .either over the telephen2 or through

the mails, without having

x your message intercepted ‘ox’ recorded by umauthor-

ized persons. Highly sophisticated equipment now makes Lt possible to turn
our surveillance techniques, witch were origin salty y.designed te salercept
foreign transmissions, inward against owtelve Tt is important that*pre-

vision be made for the lawful use of this capability, and that protection
be assured our own. citizens who’ could becom the unwitting victims of this
uncon stitutional but never theless powerful surveillance technology.

I want to take this opportunity to assure. yoti that ‘the Committee" S purpose
is not, as some have suggested, to- destroy, ‘degrade, or even disrupt the
legitimate functions of the. intelligence gathering and law enforcement agen~

cies of the United States.

On‘the contrary, “its puxpose is to fortify these

valid and vital areas Of operation. -Towéver, we do intend to-identify abuses
or patterns of cbuses which aré.clearLy unlawful and take action to prevent
their recurrence, whether they involve individuals or nations. «We as indi~ |
viduals must Live within the law; so must our Government and its agencies.

I appreciate your taking the time to write to m, and trust that the
ultimte outcome of this investigation wil strengthen the faith of our
people in the integrity of their Covernment.,

With all kind wishes.

RE: FALL OFFENSIVE AGAINST THE WAR IN VIETNAM
NOVEMBER 12-16, 1969
INTERNAL SECURITY - MISCELLANEOUS

The New Mobilization Committee to End the War in
Vietnam (NHC) is sponsoring a massive antiwar manifestation
to take place in Washington, D. C,, on November 12-16, 1969.
The Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam
(SMC) and the Vietnam Moratorium Committee (VMC) are closely
coordinating their efforts with NMC in organizing the ;
demonstration, NMC, SMC and VMC occupy adjoining office
Space at 1029 Vermont Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D. C.

SMC is completely dominated and controlled by the .
Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party’ (SWP) and its youth affiliate,
the Young Socialist Alliance (¥YSA). The VNC has recently
endorsed fully the activities of NMC concerning the upcoming
antiwar demonstration. ;

This demonstration could possibly attract the
largest number of demonstrators ever to assemble in
Washington, D, C., which is cause for major concern should
violence of any type break out. It is necessary for this
Bureau to keep abreast of events as they occur, and we feel
advance knowledge of plans and possible areas of confrontation
during the demonstration would be most advantageous to our
coverage and to the safety of individuals and property.

We have sevarately requested authorization to install
a telephone surveillance on the office of NMC. To further
implement our coverage, we are requesting authorization to
anstall telephone surveillances on the offices of SMC and VHC,

Hon. Frank Church

U.S. Senate
Washington, D.C.

Dear Sen. Church:

By way of background, I served honorably with both the Federal Bureay of Inv
igation and the Central Intelligence Agency for a combined total of ove 33
years. I am proud of my service with each agency and I feel thet my activities
were quite worthwhile and in the national interest. I am a graduate of George
Washington University Law School and a member of the bar. I am now retiréd.

As an interested and intellectually curious cktizen, I have been reading
accounts in the public press concerning the activities of the committee which
you happen to chair and of the House Committee which Rep. Otis Pike happens to
chair, both dealing with the U.S. investigative and intelligence programs.Brief~
ly stated, I am totally nauseated by the irresponsible way in which both of you
demand highly sensitive end classified data which seems to be publicized soon
after you get it. It is my opinion and that of many ffiends that your committe
are effectively destroying the credibility of these agencies and making impos-
sible their effective performance in the future.

Before going further, let me state that I do not condone irregularities, im-

but I do see the justification,in serious security or Mafia like criminal acti-
vities,for certain "extracurricular" activities to achieve needed ends and I
think that the Congress should quietly recognize such,with reasonable controls. |
You should be proud and complimentary,for instance in my opinion,sbout the
highly publicized and often misrepresented mail intercept program when you

stop to realize that it wes confined to mail to and from Russia and,insofér as

I read, the results were given appropriate safeguards.

I have no objection to having some type of scrutiny and supervision of these
agencies by some well qualified and impartial panel and I do not object to
having appropriate administrative action taken against offending employees and
officials,if their rights are protected. What I do strongly object to is the
pathetically inept and horrendously damaging procedures whereby your inquiries
on sensitive matters are regularly reported,sometimes incompletely and for
apparent political reasons, It just seems to me that someone connected with your
committees is afflicted with political "diarrhea of the mouth" which impels
them to babble without regard to common sense or the welfare of our intelligence
programs and, as I read the press, you two gentlemen both have this weakness,

I am sure that the intelligence organizations of all major nations make some
mistakes.But have you ever seen the British,the French,the Russians,the
Germans,the Israeli or the Japanese governments conduct such a "three ring
circus" on sensitive matters as you men are doing to your everlasting discredit?
I am sure also that we are the laughing stock of all the above enumerated
nations. What foreign official will entrust sensitive and confidential data to
U.S. intelligence agents in the foreseeable future when he knows that he may soo
see his data publicized because of some misguided Congressional activity? I very
Sincerely feel that strong administrative and/or criminal action should be taken
in any cases where either or both of your committees and/or their person
been the vehicle for embarrassing or damaging the U.S. by actions
in confidential data being reported.

In order that there be no misunderstanding,this letter represents a
more than my very sincere conviction of great personal contempt on ith
the way in which you and your committees have done a great disservice to the

United States by sadly mishandling your responsibilities to these agencies and
to our nation,

Sincerely,

SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (ssc)

RE: REQUEST FOR MATERTAL RELATING TO ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE
OF "KISSINGER~17"

NOTE:

The above agreement referred to in referenced
Department letter states that material in FBI files
relating to the "Kissinger-17" surveillance would be made
available for review to SSC personnel at FBIHQ. These
personnel may take such notes as deemed appropriate which
notes were to be left in secure location at FBIHQ during
the time the SSC study was in progress. When the study
was completed, the SSC was to prepare a summary of the
information considered appropriate for Committee use. The
summary would be checked to ensure the protection of
national security matters, protection of confidential
sources of information and observation of privacy consider-
ations, Thereafter, the approved summary would be
furnished to the Committee and Staff notes destroyed.

Mr. Dick on July 16 and 17, 1975, reviewed the material
relating to the "Kissinger-17"' and left his notes in
possession of Bureau personnel. On 2/17/76, Mr. Dick
requested permission to return to FBIHQ to review the
above notes and prepare his summary which he did on
2/18/76, The summary prepared by Mr. Dick can be placed
into two categories: (a) Political or personal information
obtained from the tesurs which was disseminated to
individuals at the White House and (b) a list of the
targets and the dates the coverage was in operation for
each target comprising the "Kissinger-17,'' Review of

this summary indicates that no confidential sources of
this Bureau are jeopardized, and there appears to be no
jeopardy to national security matters, Regarding the
latter, however, it is felt that the White House would be
in the best position to pass final judgement in this matter,

It is to be noted that the matter of tesur coverage
of some members of the "Kissinger-17" is currently in
litigation,

Answer: A112 information relating to the FBI's
knowledge of Hiha has been previously furnished to the

menorandum was furnished the SSC on June 15, 1975.

3. Question: Was Riha employed by FBI? If se,
in what capacity? Dates of employment?

Answer: Riha was not employed by the FRI.

4. Question: In March or April 1069 or thereafter,
did Mrs. Gioria (Galya} Tannenbaum of Denver and Boulder,
Colorado, contact the FBI in Colorado or Washington to
agsure the FBI that missing University of Colorade
Professor Thomas Riha was alive and well and had left his
home fox personal reasons on March 15, 1965? If so, who

ACTIVITIES (SSC)

she had impersonated an officer of the U. S. Iomigration
and Naturalization Service. There is no record that.
Rihe was discussed during this contact. A letter from
the Denvexs: Office of the FBI dated February 12, 1070,
reported that on January 28, 1970, she was interviewed
by Special Agents of the FBI at Boulder City Jail, Boulder,
Colorado, at which timo she offered the opinion that Rika

Special Agent Merrill KR. Smith. At that time Special Agent
Snith and Special Agent J. Hale McMenamin were the only
Agents assigned at Boulder, Colorada. As the SSC was
previously advised on November 21, 1975, the January 22,
1970, communication from Denver FBI ta FBIHO could not he
located and therefore it cannot be determined who at FRIEND
received it or if the information was passed to CIA.

The letter fvom the Donver Office to PRITR on
February 12, 1970, was initialed by & case supervisor in
the General Investigative Division and a case supervisor

indication that the information was passed to CIA,

5. Question: Was this or other information passed
on by the FBI to the CIA or to other agencies and the

Answer: The report of the interview of
Tannenbaum on January 28, 1970, was included in a
memorandum which was furnished to FBIHQ by communication
from Denver dated February 12, 1970, captioned
‘Galya Tamenbaun, aka, Inmersonation.** The memorandum
was disseminated at FBIHQG to CIA, Secret Service, State
Department, Inumigration and Naturalization Service, and
Defense Intelligence Agency. The memorandum was
furnished to the U, &. Attorney, Denver, Colorado, by
the Denver FBI Office. There is no indication that the
information was passed to the Denver or Boulder police.

6. Question: Why did FBI say in 1969 and 1970--
and continues ta say now-~that it conducted no
investigation of Rihats disappearance when 1t is known
that FBI agents taiked in 1969 and 1970 with friends of
Riha about his disappearance?

Answer: The FBI said in 21969 and 1970 and
continues to say now that it conducted no investization
of Riha’s disappearance because from the outset of his
disappearance to now, the FBI has never conducted any
investigation into the disappearance of Thomas Riha.
Reference is made to the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
paragraphs of Denver FBI letter to the Pirector dated
February 12, 1976, supra, previously furnished to the
SSC on November 21, 1975, which read as follows: “All
persons interviewed in this investigation were specifically
advised by interviewing Agents that the purpose of this
investigation was to ascertain whether Galya Tannenbaum
had in any way violated Federal statutes concerning
impersonation. Interviewees were specifically advised

_ NW 88326 Docld:32989603 Page 149 _

ACTIVIT@EEPS (SSC)

investigation was not in any way canneetcd with the
dissanearance of Thomas Niha, a currently missing
Assistant Professor of History at the University of
Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.

‘this statement was made to interviewees
because the Denver Office has recoived inquiries by
news media concerning Riha's disappcarance and they
have beon specifically advised there ia no cvidence
relating to his disappcaranca showlng any violation of
Federal law over which this Bureaw has jurisdiction.

The circumstances of his disappearance sugfest a missing
person situation and that investigation is being handled
by the Boulder Police Pepartment.

“Because of the close personal relationship
hotween Tannenbaum and Piha, it would be possible,
without the above sintonent by interviewing Arents, that
interviewees could gain the lnpression the FRI is
investigating the disappearance inetead of the
immersonation of a Federal officer by Tanncubaun.

“Purpuant to curront Bureau iustructions, this
office is not and has not conducted any Investigation
concerning Riha."

7. Gnuestion: Why, in January or February 1070,
did an FEE agent at the Denver office refuse to accompany
CIA Arent Michael Todorovich from Gonldery to sce then
TRenvor District Atterney Mike McKevittY Was it made known
by the CIA agent that the nurpose of the visit was to casa
the pressure on issuance of a subpocna to Dr. dJoscph Salley,
former president of the University of Colorado? (inder
such a subpoena, Enilcy night have boon reduired to reveal
the agency that had civen him the April 186% report that
Riha was alive and well at that time.)

interviewed at Lyons, Colorado, 1/21/70, by Special
Agents Merrill R. Smith and J. Hale McMenamin.
Joyce Lebra was interviewed by the same Agents on
1/21/70 at Boulder, Colorado.

Professor Donald Fanger is the subject of
Securlty Matter - C, Bureau file 100-408465, opencd
in January, 1954, when there was indication he supported
Communist Party policies and closed 1964 when investigation
indicated he did not qualify under Bureau's criteria for
inclusion on the Security Index and his activities did not
appear to warrant investigation. The only known connection
between Fanger and Riha is that they were both included in
a group of American graduate students selected to attend
Moscow or Lenigrad University in 1°8°-1959 in exchange for
twenty Soviet graduate students.

Professor Oldrich Leska is the subject of
Internal Security ~ Czechoslovakia, Bureau file 105-19779.
Leska, born 6/16/27 Czechoslovakia, was in the U. 8. from
7/17/68 to 9/5/68 and again from 10/15/68 until 6/8/70
when he teturned to Czechoslovakia. He was in the U. &.
under the East-West Exchange Program. During the earlier
visit and from October, 1968, until the Summer of 1969, he
was at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, and
from the Summer of 1969 until June, 1970, he was at the
University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois. The file was
opened on the basis of an unusual telephone call received
by a third party from Ljubo Majhanovich. Apparently
Majhanovich, then living in Toronto, Canada, had attended
the University of Colorado from 1966-69 where he had beco
friendly with Leska. Majhanovich was born in Yugosiaviasto}

, engineer with the Martin-Marietta Cement Company in Lyons, Colorado.

According to CERVENY, he came to the United States on

November §, 1968, from Vienna, Austria, destined for the residence
of his uncle in Boulder, Colorado. He stated that upon arrival in
New York City, he spent several days at the residence of Mr. and :
Mrs. R. V¥. GROSSMAN in Brooklyn, New York, who are the aunt and ; ‘
uncle of HANA RIHA, the former wife of THOMAS RIHA. i

CERVENY continued that he arrived in Denver, Colorado, :

THOMAS RIFA at his residence in Boulder He was advised by RIHA i
that he would be unable toe come t3 Denver to drive him back to
Boulder, but.that he would have a friend meet him at the pus

he: did not seé TANNENBAUM again until March 13,°1969, when ‘she ‘*
Called him on the telephone and suggested he come to her residence
at 248 Logan Street, where his uncle was also visiting her. He
stated when he arrived at her house, his uncle seemed depressed
and upset over the fact that he was having marital difficulties
with HANA, and that the marriage would probably terminate in
divorce. He stated the purpose of his being invited to
TANNENBAUM's residence appeared to emanate from a desire of his
uncle to see him, but that nothing of importance occurred during
the visit.

Following the disappearance of his uncle on March 15,
1969, he stated TANNENBAUM commenced asking him over to her house
on the pretense of checking up on his immigrant status; however,
it became immediately apparent that the principal purpose of these
invitations was an attempt on the part of TANNENBAUM to have sexual
relations with him. He pointed out there were times when he
entered her residence when she would be partially unclothed, would
attempt to sit on his lap, sit close to him while watching tele-
vision, or would openly suggest that they go to her bedroom for
the purpose of having sexual intercourse. CERVENY stated TANNENBAUH
was physically repulsive to him, and that he would find an immediate
excuse to leave when she commenced making sexual advances to him.

During the period when he was visiting the TANNENBAUM
residence, CERVENY advised she suggested that she cdopt him, and
actually started adoption proceedings through an attorney in
Denver, STEPHEN L. R. MC NICHOLS, JR.; however, he stated he had
no desire whatsoever to go through with this, and told TANNENBAUM
so. He stated it was about this time that he began to suspect that
TANNENBAUM had no connection with Military Intelligence or had any
influence over his immigration status.

He stated that ‘in May, 1969, he desired to go to Toronto,
Canada, to ettent a wedding of some Czechoslovakian friends, and
he inquired of TANNENBAUM if such would be legal for him to do.
He stated she told him there was nothing for him to worry about;
however, she suggested he consult with Immigration authorities
in Denver regarding this trip. Accordirr to _CoMENY TANCENBAUM

. ‘tn ‘addition; “CERVENY stated that in Hay, 1989, he’ met *
a Czechoslovakian girl in Colorado Springs by the name of MICHEL
BDLIKOVA, who was working at the Broadmoor Hotel, and whom he
eventually introduced to TANNENBAUM. He stated that TANNENBAUM
immediately told the girl of her Military Intelligence and
Immigration connections,-and advised her that she cculd arrange
to get her a passport. to visit relatives in Czechoslovakia. He
stated that in October, 1969, BDLIKOVA told him that TANNENBAUM
. had recently approached her with a letter written in English
purportedly from THOMAS RIHA to CERVENY. He stated BDLIKOVA was
asked by TANNENBAUM to rewrite the letter in Czechoslovakian, and
that he eventually received this letter postmarked from somewhere
in Canada. He felt at the time he received the letter that it had
not been written by his uncle, and when he was advised by BDLIKOVA
that the letter was a hoax, he began to feel that TANNENBAUM was
a fraud and that his uncle's disappearance could have been for
reasons other than marital discord. He stated that immeidately
after being told of the letter by BDLIKOVA in October, 1969, he
filed a missing persons notice with the Boulder, Colorado Police
Department the following day. He stated the last time he saw
TANNENBAUM was just before or after he made this report to the
Boulder Police Department.

With regard to CERVENY's association with GALYA
TANNENBAUM, he recalled that on several oceasions she tou:d him
that she would like to recruit him into Military Intelligence, as
his engineering background and language ability would be "extremely
useful to us." She also told him that if he were in the United
States "working for the other side," she would shoot him. TANNEN-
BAUM also told CERVENY that she had originally met THOMAS RIHA in
Chicago, and that after she came to Colorado, he followed her for the
purpose of marrying her; however, the marriage did not take place
as RIHA was unable to get along with her children. He stated that
upon reflection, he feels that his uncle actually believed that
TANNENBAUM was connected in some official capacity with the United
States Government, and that there was something in their relation~-|
ship which he feels gave TANNENBAUM some type of influence over the
actions of his uncle; however, in conversation with berh hie cncle

|. leave this bracelet with the RIHA in San Antonio for him to
|}. attempt to sell; however, the bracelet was eventually returned
|, ‘to CERVENY from the RIHA in San Antonio, who advised him he could
| loeate no buyer. Thereafter, he showed the bracelet to TANNEN~
BAUM, who indicated a desire to buy it. Both went to a jeweler
in the Denver Hilton Hotel, who appriased the bracelet at $350.
TANNENBAUM, however, offered him $500 for the bracelet, and
actually paid him $400 in cash with a promise to pay him an
additional $100 later, which he never received.

CERVENY recalled another incident which furthered
his suspicions of TANNENBAUM in regard to a will which he
witnessed at her insistence. By way of background, he explained
that in the spring of 1969, TANNENBAUM introduced him to an
elderly man by the name of GUSTAV FREDERICH INGWERSEN, a plastics
engineer and a native of Germany, who owned some type of plastics
Plant in Denver, Colorado. He stated he had formerly done some
work in plastics, and TANNENBAUM suggested that INGWERSEN might
help him get established in this field. As a result of this
meeting, CERVENY became friendly with INGWERSEN, and in the
company of TANNENBAUM and her two children, made two vacation
trips to New Mexico with him. He stated these trips were in
either April or May, 1969, and in June, 1969, TANNENBAUM advised
him that INGWERSEN had died. Then on July 5, 1969, TANNENBAUM
had him visit her residence where she told him that INGWERSEN
had drawn up a will and signed it prior to his death, but had
neglected to have two witnesses sign it in accordance with
Colorado law. She said that INGWERSEN liked CERVENY and had
intended to ask him to witness the will, but had died before this
eould be accomplished. She then coaxed him for over an hour to
witness this document, and still believing she was a bona fide
official in some Governmental capacity, he affixed 1 his signature
to the will.

CERVENY concluded by stating that TANNENBAUM hed never
obteined anvthings of value fren Als as a result of her varresen-

Liigence, and the tonuger

the restaurant in the company of a Czechoslovakian citizen by the
name of JIRI CERVENY, who advised her that he had a son, ZDENEK
CERVENY, who had recently escaped from Czechoslovakia into Vienna,
Austria. She stated JIRI CERVENY was from Prague and that ZDENEX
CERVENY is a nephew of RIHA. They inquired if “rs. STEIN would be
able to assist his son in coming to the United Sintes, particularly,
awith regard to obtaining employment for him. Mrs. STEIN advised
“both RIHA and CERVENY that she would attempt to assist in thi
endsavor through her attorney, PAUL MORRIS, in Boulder, Coloradc.

Mee. STEIN recalled that in Septembe:-, 1 MORRIS

held at the Black Bear Inn. She stated that while the reception
was in progress, TANNENBAUM appeared, uninvited, and immediately
sought out RIHA, took him to the bar section of the restaurant,

and commenced a long, serious cenversation with him which lasted

. for approximately one hour. She stated that RIHA'ts bride became

extremely upset over this, as TANNENBAUM would not allow enyone
to interrupt their conversation. Mrs. STEIN advised that on one
oceasion she went into the bar to tell RIHA that his bride was
becoming very upset, and was answered in an angry manner by
TANNENBAUM to “leave them alone." Following this conversation,
the content of which is unknown to Mrs. STEIN, she stated RIHA
appeared to be extremely upset, and although TANNENBAUM left
immediately, RIHA seemed to have lost all interest in the
reception.

Following the incident during the wedding reception,
Mrs. STEIN advised that TANNENBAUM again visited her at the
Black Bear Inn concerning the immigration case of ZDENEK CERVENY,
during which she mentioned to TANNENBAUM that she cwned some
property in Lyons on which she. desired to build an apartment
house. At this time TANNENBAUM told her that she was a Colonel
in Military Intelligence, and was soon to be promoted to the
rank of General. She told Mrs. STEIN that she could utilize
some influence in securing an FHA loan for her; that she had the
authority to deport her at any time; and intimated to Mrs. STEIN
that for a percentage of the loan obtained, she would obtain
same; and if Mrs. STEIN did not agree to this arangement, she wouid
have her deported. Mrs. STEIN again pointed out that she considered
TANNENBAUM a "nut," and told her thet all of immigration and
business dealings were handled through her attorney.

Mrs. STEIN stated that to the best of her recollection, -
the above was the last time she saw TANNENBAUM, and in February,
1969, she made a trip to Columbia, Scuth America , where she had
resided for approximately ten years before coming to the United

tates, and did not again return to Lyons until March 18, 1969,
following the disappearance of RIHA from Boulder, Colorado, on

At the outset of the interview, it was explained to

LEBRA that the purpose of the interview was to ascertain any
available information from her concerning Mrs. GALYA TANNENBAUM
on whom this Bureau is conducting an investigation under the . |
Federal. Impersonation Statute. |

Miss LEBRA advised that to the best of her recollection
RIHA never did mention anyone to her by the name of TANNENBAUM or
any individual connected with Military Intelligence or the United
States Immigration and Naturalization Service. She stated that
if TANNENBAUM had been a close friend of RIHA's, this. fact would
probably have been known to her, as she and RIHA generally asso-
ciated with the same circle of friends in the University community.

prior ‘to their meeting. ‘He advised that after RIHA came to the
_ University of Colorado he knew him as a fellow faculty menber of .
“ the Department of History and had dinner with him on two cr three ~
occasions. He advised their relationship was casual and could not
have been considered a profound relationship. : :

FISCHER~GALATI advised he first met GALYA TANNINGAUM
sometime in May, 1969, after the disappearance of rrofessor RIHA.
He advised his object in meeting TANNENBAUM was -to determine if she .
were a "colonel" as described in hearsay. He advised he was con~ - 4
vinced she was not connected with any kind of intelligence work ;
and knew nothing of Eastern Eurepean history. He recalled that
TANNENBAUM stated she had known RIHA for many years and indicated

‘

- | she had helped RIHA come to the United States but gave no further _
explanation. He also recalled that TANNENBAUM displayed 2 “Power ae

-of Attorney" document which was contained in a letter allegedly

signed by TOM RIHA. He advised the most significant part of the

document to him was the date of same, which he easliy recalled as

January 5. 19368. FISCHER-GALATI pointed out that January &$, 1568,

is the date of the overthrow of the Czechoslovakian Governwent , at

which time NOYOTONY was replaced by DUBCEK, and at this same time

the official who was in control of passports disappeared an 2c - .
sequentiy showed up in Montreal, Canada. He recalled that TANHENBAUM
-indicated she carried a gun in her purse and that her cap “ha me ;

special equipment » but TANREN BAU Gig not elaborate further.
advised that TANNENBAUM was extremely careful ia her conversations
with him and made no allegations.

FISCHER-GALATI advised his second meeting with TANNEN BAM
occured on Octcber 1, 1969, at 2:15 p.m., same obtained Fron his
notebook. He vecalied that TANNENBAUM called him on tae telephone

and arpanged to meet him in front of the Colorado Book Store in ~
Boulder. He recalled that her car was parxed legaily at the -

aforementioned location. He recalled that sie was anxious to
determine why a check had “bounesd" in RIHA's bank acaount .« He

He recalled his third meeting with TANNENBAUM occured
about five days later at the same location, although this time
TANNENBAUM was accompanied by a small female child about three
years of age, He advised her of the amount the University had
deposited to RIHA's acccunt.. At this time TANNENBAUM told him
her real name was not GALY:1 TANNENBAUM, but something else which
she did not disclose, and added that she was about ready to leave
town. .He advised of no contact with TANNENBAUM since their last
meeting.

STEPHEN FISCHER-GALATI advised that the date of the
document mentioned above of January 5, 1968, and its historical
significance disturbs him. He stated if RIHA was not "bumped -
off" by TANNENBAUM, then he assumes that RIHA's disappearance
may have been connected with an unknown intelligence matter,
which is pure conjecture on his part. FISCHER~GALATI also recailed
that in September, 1968, Professor RIHA requested that an advertise-
ment for a travel bureau be run in the "Eastern European Quarterly,"
which GALATI described as an international journal to promote cul-~
tural contact with Eastern European Countries, He advised RIHA
did not indicate if the advertisement was run for a friend or if
RIHA had any financial interest in the travel agency named Treasure
Tours, 1010 St. Catherine Way, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. FISCHER-
GALATI advised that because of the reasons mentioned, he sometimes
believes that RIHA could be in Canada.

Professor FISCHER-~GALATI advised that in April, 1969.
he contacted a Mr. FRITZ of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA),
Denver, Colorado, regarding the sudden leaving of Professor THOMAS
RIHA of the University of Colorado. Hr. FRITZ advised him that he
had no knowledge of the matter but would check into same. Professon
FISCuER-GALATI stated he was later recontacted by FRITZ, who stated
the disappearance had nothing to do with the CIA and that RIHA's
leaving was a personal matter connected with personal problems.

“Vadded ‘that inasmuch ds-it’ then appeared to him that REHA -had left
voluntarily, he also concluded he hed no reason to fear for the
safety of RIHA. Professor FISCHER-GALATI said that if he had
been subsequentiy quoted in the "Colorado Daily" or any other
newspaper as saying that RIHA had left voluntarily and was safe,
Such quotation would have been correct.

Professor FISCHER-GALATI continued that he did not
feel, however, that the explanation about RIHA was adequate and
for that reason subsequently directed a letter to the Chief of
the Foreign Agents Registration section within the Justice Depart-
ment, whom he knew well. He thereafter received a reply that the
Chief to whom he directed the letter was deceased.

He stated he thereafter directed a second letter to
the same section mentioned above within the Justice Department in
mid-December, 1969, again inquiring about RIEA, but as yét has
received no reply.

He stated he did not know of anything of value ever
_ received by TANNENBAUM as a result of any representation.

Blackhurst, Assistant Special Counsel for Intelligence
Coordination, to John A. Mintz, Assistant Director, Legal
Counsel Division, FBI, ' dated February 20, 1976, enclosing
SSC letter dated February 18, 1976.

Referenced letter requests interviews with FBI ‘
Agents of the Chicago Office who prepared memoranda con- py
cerning the Black Panther Party. — -

In view of current civil litigation involving
members of the Black Panther Party, and Agerts of the FBI,
it is felt that it would not be proper to wake these Agents
available for interview by the SSC at this time.

The FBI is in ‘agreement with the Department's view
that a proper response would be to allow the SSC to review
transcripts of the Agents' testimony at the trial, conceming

these memoranda. so. o2- H6IIS — -S459

SUBJECT: SSG Letter Dated February 18, 1976

Attached is a letter from the Senate Select
Committee dated February 18, 1976, which requests
interviews with FBI agents who wrote various mem-
.oranda concerning the Black Panther Party in Chicago.
Because such interviews might impair the Department's
ability to conduct a defense in the Hampton trial, in
Chicago, I have asked the Department attorneys hand-
ling that case to give us their views on an appropriate
yesponse to Senator Church's letter. One possible re-
sponse would be to provide the SSC with the transcripts
of the FBI agents testimony at the trial eoncerning
these memoranda, instead of allewing the SSC to inter-
view these agents. We would appreciate it -if the FBI
would also consider what response would be appropriate
.to this letter. ,

Dear Mike:

On March 4,- 1976, Mr. James Johnson of the FBI re-
viewed the Select Committee's draft titled "CIA and FBI
Mail Opening." James Dick and Thomas Dawson of the Com-
mittee staff revised the draft to meet all security
problems previously raised by Mr. James Lee of the Bureau,
and discussed the revisions with Mr. Johnson to make cer-
tain that their concerns were met.

This letter is to confirm the fact that, unless I
receive word to the contrary from you, the Department of
Justice has no objection to the publication of this report. —

| Thanks again for your help throughout the inquiry
into this subject.

| Sincerely,

Qiky 9.0.84, 2

It was brought to the attention of the Legal Counsel
Division that in the Senate Select Committee report concerning
COINTELPRO the identities of Agents were contained which are

below the level of Section Chief. The prior procedure

and policy.

of the Senate Select Committee was not to include anybody below
a policymaking position which it equated with Section Chief or

above.

f
‘

F. A. O. Schwartz, Counsel to captioned Committee, was
contacted concerning this matter and Schwartz stated that he
wanted to assure the Bureau that there would be no names of Agent
personnel included in the report under the title of Section Chief.
He indicated that their procedures and policies concerning utili-
zation of the idéntity of Agent personnel will be consistent, with
the policies established by their Bureau mail opening report. This
report was written by James Dick of the Committee and contains the
identity of only one Section Chief and that is William A. Branigan.

No one below the rank of Section Chief was identified.
Dick did not identify SACs Wye yo" in this operation.

NOTE:

This is the first instance wherein the SSC has
made available for review a proposed rough draft of a seg-
ment of the upcoming SSC report. It is expected that other
segments will be made available by the Committee Staff
Members. It was necessary to review this proposed draft
in the offices of the SSC since they do not contemplate
permitting proposed drafts to leave their premises. The
approval for the use of information from the 2 classified
documents has been coordinated with the IS-2 Section of
the Intelligence Division and with the Budget and Accounting
Section of the Administrative Division. The handling of

the budget figure as set forth has been approved by Asst.
Director E.W. Walsh. ,

(2) The Committee's draft under "Case No. 5%

information was taken from a classified document cap~

The FBI cannot declassify this document since
it contains Information warranting its continued class- |.

Therefore, the FBI does not interpose any objection to

ooo ” Informers were used extensively in FBI investigations of ~ .
possible Communist links to the antiwar movement. An example is

the FBI's coverage of various antiwar teach-ins and conferences |
sponsored by the Universities Committee on Problems of War and

Peace. A forty-one page report from the Philadelphia office--based
on coverage by thirteen informants and confidential sources--described
in complete detail a "public hearing on Vietnam." A Communist Party
official had “urged all CP members" in the area to attend, and one

of the organizers was alleged to have been’ a Communist in the early
1950's. Upon receipt from an informant of a list of the speakers,

the FBI culled its files for data on their backgrounds. One was

described by a source as a Young Socialist Alliance "sympathizer."

had contributed $5. 000 to the National Committee to Abolish the

the W.E.B. DuBois Club was identified as a Commmist. The*FBI
covered the meeting with an informant who reported practically

verbatim the remarks of all the speakers, including the following:

MARTIN LUGHER KING, Jk.

r This informative memorandum to advise of status ~
of Lepartmental review of FBI files concerning Martin Luther
Ring. Jr., amd related matters.

You will recall that, commencing 12/6/75,
personnel of the Civil Rights Division reviewed portions
of our files concerning King and related matters. Thea
lpat date such review was conducted in 1975 was on 12/19/75.
On 2/9/76, Criminal Section Chief Robert A. Murphy resumed
review of the King File. He worked on this for less than
four hours on that day and was to return the morning of
2/10/76 but had not returned as of the dictation of this
memorandum at 3:00 p.m., 2/10/76.

OBRGANAL FILED IM y,

Murphy had been reviewing the King file to the

exclusion of other files of interest. The King file is
64 sections in size and, as of 2/9/76, only about 25 sections
had been reviewed. On that date, Murphy told Supervisor
J. fT. aldhizer that, when he resumed the review the next

» he wanted to start with the portion of the file
commencing 1/1/68. This would be Section 77, and thus
Murphy would be skipping approximately 50 sections °F a
little over half of the file.
